WEBSTER ANC POLK.

In conversation few days since
with an old resident of Washington,
who was proprietor of large custom

ment on Pennsylvania avenue when
James X Polk was President, he said
of all the great men Of that time whom
he knew or had business transactions
with, Polk was the most picayunish.
and Webster the largest-hearted. One
day Webster came in to select cloth
FIR dress suit. Almost always beg
CARS, mostly women beggars. watched
him as he went in and out of his favor

preaching him with pitiful tales, never
failed to get money, if he had it. This
time he had hardly got inside the door
when in came a poor old wom-
an, and with tears trickling
down her wrinkled checks suppli-
Gated for aims. Webster was more out
of humor than was his wont, and
examining his big hands down into his
small pants pockets and brought out a
piece of money and said: Here, take
this and be off with you, or I'll have
you arrested! It's all l have got for
YOU" After selecting the cloth for
his suit he put his hand in his pocket
to make the accustomed advance pay
ment Turning the pocket inside out
and 10 king at it, he said: IF l didn't
give that woman q ten-dolar gold
piece! Well, it's all the same! It'll
do her more good than l could have
got out of it, Charge the whole

In 1S4s two young man graduated

"Ah, DOCTOR" said one, lit has come

ABOUT WOOD CARPET.
A Profitable Industry That Is Monopolized
by -Four American Firms.

by -Four American Firms.
The use of wood carpet is constantly
on the increase, and there is scarcely
any limit to the prospects for it. This
kind of floor covering can be made so
as to sell rs cheaply rs Il good quality
Of ingram, or it can be so wrought with
costly woods as to sell at one dollar or
more n foot. Good oak, ash and maple
carpet can be sold at between eighty
and ninety cents a yard. Finished in
oil, it is good enough for any ordinary
use. For wainscoting and ceiling it is
admirably adapted.
The process of making wood carpet
is comparatively simple, though
the work must be done with
exactitude, Carefully adjusted saws
strip the lumber into the desired
thickness and width, the latter
differing according to the work re-
quired. The stuff is then subjected
to the saws that cut it out in proper
shape for inlayjng, to form the fabric
and figure of the carpet. This must be
done with mnch particularlty as each
| of the multiform pieces must exactly
lit. The nrrangcmento of the pieces and
the glning of them Is done by lads, and
looks like slow work, but yards are
thus woven with fair celebrity. Canvas
is glued on one side to give strength to
the fabric. The carpet is then sub
| iected to sand paper, and is finally fin
ished with hard oil. The designing of
wood carpet is tedious and expensive,
Sometimes the manufacturer devises
and works out n pattern at great ex-
pense, only to find that it does not suit
The popular taste, and must be thrown
aside. The popularity of woods also
huctuates, as it does in interior finish.
Plain, white oak carpet is now very
saiabe. because it is cheap. finishes
well, and is of lasting quality.-M w.

INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT
Why No Man Can Judge Fairly Who
Judges All By lim,elf.

Why No Man Can Judge Fairly Who
Judges All By iiim,elf
Independence of Judgment involves
full knowledge and fair estimate
of more views than che on the point
which is judged. No man can judge
independently who judges all by HIM
self, without hearing and carefully
considering what others have to say
on the snbject before his mind. If
there are, fairly, only two sides to a
question, and person hears one man
on one side, and one man on the other
side, he must be of the same opinion
with one of those men in order
to be absolutely Independent in his
Judgment. And if, again. he hears
only one mans argument, and that on
the opposite side from his own former
impressions, it may hn % higher proof
OF his Independence of Judgment for
him to surrender Ties, impressions,
and adopt the view thus newly pre-
sentcd to him, than fer him to adhere
to those impressions, now that he sees
they are not well founded. Yet how
prone man is. who wants to have
credit for independence of Judgment,
to adhere to his own earlier impress
sions, rather than to conform his
views to the new light which
he has rec eived from another.
A judge on the bench, as a
rule. refuses to give final opinion on
question submitted to him, until he has
heard arguments on both sides of that
questions; in order that he may be
more independent in his Judgment,
even though agreeing with one of the
lawyers who has argued the case be-
fore him, than he could be by acting
on his own unaided impressions and
pr objections. Real independence of
Judgment must at times, seem as
though it were result of another 8
personal influence; yet it is better to
be independent, even while seeming
not to be, than to seem to be independ.
